exhaust gas pollutants.Norms and methods of the control for estimation of technical condition” (entered into force on the 1st of January 2004)

• 2. ГОСТ Р 52160-2004 Motor vehicles, equipped with compression ignition
• engines. Visible pollutants”

(entered into force on the 1st of January 2005)

• 3. ГОСТ Р 52231-2004 “External noise of motor vehicles. Permissible levels

and methods of measurement” (entered into force on the 1st of January 2005)

• 4. ГОСТ Р 51709-2001 “Motor vehicles and their trailers. Safety

requirements for technical conditions and methods of inspection” (с изменениями №1) (entered into force on the 1st of March 2006)

Environmental Doctrine of the Russian Environmental Doctrine of the Russian Federation (2002) Federation (2002)

• Prevention of the fragmentation of the ecosystems by the roads and

railway lines;

• Modernization and further development of the more environmentally

safe transport modes. Prioritization of the environmentally safe public transport development in big cities;

• Full implementation of the “polluter pays” principle;
• Providing conditions, that enable the citizens to take part in making

and implementation of the decisions in the field of environmental protection;

• Russian Federation taking part n consolidation of the world

community's efforts for solution of the environmental problems.

7

Transport strategy of the Russian Federation Transport strategy of the Russian Federation

up to 2020 up to 2020

• Comprehensive assessment of transport-related factors is necessary for

making decisions in land use and city planning;

• Introduction of the transport zoning in the cities with the aim or

restricting private car use in the zones overloaded by traffic;

• Introduction of road pricing as well as cordon pricing in the city

centers;

• Rapid and integrated development of the urban public transport as an

alternative to private car;

• Development of the comprehensive solutions for road traffic safety

problem.

8

Aims and methods of achieving sustainability of Aims and methods of achieving sustainability of an urban transport policy an urban transport policy

Provision and development of the transport infrastructure Improvement of the vehicle fleets Optimization of the traffic management Restrictions on car use Parking policy Development

• f the public

transport Urban planning and land use Providing community with the information Reduction of the traffic congestion Increase in traffic safety Protection of the environment

9

Development of the urban road network and Development of the urban road network and transport infrastructure transport infrastructure

• Construction of the new ring and radial roads

and motorways;

• Construction of the multilevel road junctions,

tunnels, widening of the bridges and streets, pedestrian subways, etc.;

• Before 2004 construction of the four

multilevel public transport terminals to facilitate transfer between the transport modes.

10

Road traffic management Road traffic management

• The automated system of traffic

lights regulation “START” is being further developed;

• In Moscow the city-wide system of

the road traffic management is being created;

• The work on optimization of the

current traffic management scheme (e.g. switching several central streets to one-way traffic) is underway in Moscow;

• Introduction of the special public

transport lanes is being considered.

11

Improvement of the vehicle fleet Improvement of the vehicle fleet

• Renovation of the municipal bus fleets by purchasing the new

buses with Euro-3 or better engines;

• Usage of the buses which satisfy Euro-2 or more modern

environmental requirements on the intercity routes;

• Environmental characteristics of the bus fleet will taken into

consideration during the competition of the commercial public transport operators for the contract with the city administration.

12

Use of motor fuels of improved quality and of Use of motor fuels of improved quality and of alternative fuels alternative fuels

• The stricter environmental

requirements to petrol and diesel fuel retailed in Moscow have been introduced;

• Two of the largest municipal bus

fleets are being reequipped to use the natural gas;

• The pilot truck fleet fueled by the

dimetyl ether is currently being

• perated by “Mosavtoholod”

carrier enterprise.

13

Restriction of car use in some of the city's Restriction of car use in some of the city's districts districts

• Entering the Garden ring is forbidden for the trucks

with carrying capacity of over 1 ton;

• During the day hours the trucks with maximum mass
• f over 7 tons are forbidden from entering the territory

inside the Moscow ring railway;

• The possibility of restriction of the vehicle access to

the city’s center (possibly, by introducing a cordon toll) is being considered. The authorities plan to compensate for the restrictions by improving the work

• f the surface public transport.

14

Priority development of the public transport Priority development of the public transport

• Development of the existing route

network of the surface public transport;

• Extension of the existing metro

lines and construction of the new

• nes;
• Introduction of the new rapid

transit public transport modes;

• There are plans to use the lesser

ring of the Moscow railway for the passenger traffic;

• Improvement of the attractiveness
• f the public transport for the

people;

• A program aimed at facilitation of

the transport for the disadvantaged people is underway.

15

Improvement of the parking policy Improvement of the parking policy

• A program aimed at creating a

network of the “Park and Ride” facilities is being implemented;

• The number of the paid parking

lots is increasing;

• A change to the city-planning

requirements concerning a necessary number of the parking places in residential areas is needed;

• There are plans to organize

Parking inspection and to introduce the paid parking facilities on most of the city’s territory by 2007-2008.

16

Improvement of the public information system Improvement of the public information system

• Introduction of the unified System of

Environmental monitoring in Moscow;

• Development of the information systems

for the pedestrians, public transport passengers and drivers;

• Timely provision of the community with

the information of transport and land use development pans, initiation of public discussions.

17

Main problems of the integrated transport policy Main problems of the integrated transport policy introduction in the Russian Federation introduction in the Russian Federation

• Low priority of the transport and environmental problems (save traffic

safety) at the national level;

• Lack of distinct distribution of powers and fields of responsibility

between the ministries and other bodies on the federal, regional and local level, as well as lack of cooperation between them;

• Lack of the legislative and administrative mechanisms required for the

implementation of an integrated transport policy on federal and regional level.

• Lack of public pressure on the authorities;
• Little concern for the public opinion expressed by the authorities while

making political decisions.
